Carnton Plantation Ghost Stories: True Tales of the Unexplained from Tennessee's Most Haunted Civil War House!
Carnton Plantation Ghost Stories True Tales of the Unexplained from Tennessee's Most Haunted Civil War House Author:Lochlainn Seabrook With its 100-year history of infant mortality, violence, murder, war, surgical amputations, political intrigue, thousands of ghastly deaths, and a long streak of truly bad luck, it's little wonder that Carnton Plantation is haunted, or that thousands travel each year to visit its hallowed grounds in the hopes of spotting a ghost themselves. — Wha... more »t is perhaps more amazing is that no one has thought to chronicle the accounts of Carnton's many ghost stories, and put them in a book for readers of all ages. Lochlainn Seabrook, a former Carnton tour guide and author of the popular book, The McGavocks of Carnton Plantation: A Southern History, has rectified this situation by providing us with the first non-fiction book ever written about the goblins of Tennessee's most haunted Civil War house.
Carnton Plantation Ghost Stories is loaded with both fun and serious facts touching on numerous topics, from the Civil War, plantation life, and Victorian culture, to 19th-Century medicine, genealogy, and slavery. And all is written from the South's point of view, a refreshing perspective that enriches an already fascinating subject: a Southern plantation full of Civil War ghosts!
Included is a complete list of the dead Rebel soldiers buried at the McGavock Confederate Cemetery, over 100 photos and illustrations of paranormal energies, Carnton Mansion, and the grounds, maps of the property, a "Ghostly Glossary," a history of both Carnton and the Battle of Franklin II, discussions on Lincoln's War, and a Southern Culture Website Directory. Additionally, Seabrook, who is related to the founders and owners of Carnton, the McGavock family, has thoughtfully included a family tree for the plantation clan.
Entertaining yet educational, diverting yet gripping, this is a book that everyone from ghost-hunters to Civil War buffs will want on their shelf. This the second edition, has 83 new pages, a new cover, new images, and a new index and bibliography!« less
